Desired Results
Co-Teaching: List the co-teaching style you’ll be using and why you have chosen this co-teaching method.
  • Teaming – each teacher contributes knowledge of flexibility, body composition, and designing a personal fitness plan.
  • One Teach, One Assist – As one teacher talks about developing a fitness plan, the other teacher will be assisting students in making sure they have all aspects of fitness covered in plan.
Learning Objective: Key Understanding(s) you intend students to obtain:


  • How to properly stretch to increase flexibility. This is actually a "do." You might have here, "The importance of stretching in regard to personal fitness."
  • Why body composition is important.
  • How to develop a fitness plan and how it will affect their healthy lifestyle.
Assessment Evidence
What do you want your students to know?

  • How to develop their own fitness plan How could you have STARTED here? Would you consider starting by saying, "Today's goal is that you guys are going to be able to create a personal fitness plan." And, as a result you will, (1) Be able to use a number of stretches well,(2) identify your body composition and (3) create a fitness plan based on everything we've been discussing.
  • What body composition consists of
    • Difference between body weight and body composition
    • How to stretch to stay flexible
    • How to navigate and properly use exrx.net for fitness evaluation
What do you want students to be able to do?

  • Take someone’s body composition
  • Develop a personal fitness plan
  • Stretch properly to avoid injury and increase flexibility

What did the stretching have to do with us measuring our body composition?
- Did it have anything to do with the rest of what we were doing?
- ?
Group Accountability (Formative Evaluation)
How will you check to see whether your class has met your learning objectives?

  • Frequent stops for questions - how many times do you think you did this during the 30 minutes?
  • Evaluation of student fitness plan at end of class - what did you learn about your students' progress because of this? (I didn't get to see this).
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

- If you were measuring body composition in a regular classroom, how would you (male) handle what you did with Brent if you only had females volunteering?

?
Learning Plan
What key vocabulary/language will students need to know to meet the learning objective?

Students will need to recall previous vocabulary for fitness plan:
Duration, frequency, intensity

abductor, adductor, body pod, body composition, lean mass/lean weight, fat mass/fat weight,
How will you teach this key vocabulary to enable students to meet the learning objective?

We will talk about these terms as we go through building the fitness plan. In addition, we have already talked multiple times in previous classes about all of the vocabulary that we will be using.
What is/are the Essential/Guiding Question(s) for this Lesson? (It should correlate to your learning objective.)

  • Why is it important to be able to incorporate flexibility into your fitness plan? Did you talk about this more? I saw three minutes of "stretching" talk at the start but no more...help me connect this.
  • Why is it important to understand why body composition is more important than body weight? GREAT! perfectly fitting!
  • How about..."Why is it important to create a fitness plan to be healthy long term?"
How will you differentiate for all the learners.

Develop Fitness Plan - This was my goal throughout. Tell me this at the beginning of class, outline for me what we will be doing to "get here." and reference it throughout. Could you have put up a "fitness plan" and as we walked through stretching, body comp etc, could you have filled in the sample for me?
  • With a partner, develop a personal fitness plan that includes 4 components of fitness.
  • Include duration, frequency, and intensity into your plan.
  • Be specific of what they are going to be doing each day.
  • Sample Walking Program (EXRX)
